The Valakkar or "Sandworm" is a species of gigantic sand worms in Star Citizen living in the desert landscapes of Leir III. They are known for their predilection for destroying settlements on this planet, leaving it sparsely populated with only nomadic smugglers and outlaws.[1]

Quotes

"We said let's put in a Javelin, sandstorm, sand nomads, and then i was like let's have a big worm too, and everyone was haha, very funny Chris, and i was like, oh no, i'm not joking."
Chris Roberts [2]

Trivia

  • Giant sandworms known as Shai-Hulud are present in the sci-fi classic Dune series by Frank Herbert, and are the almost certain inspiration for the Star Citizen Valakkar.[3] The Star Citizen Shai-Hulud are portrayed as having a mouth consisting of three triangular lobes, as in the In the 1984 David Lynch movie.[4]
